[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, when you’re applying to lottery for the PS kid, the preference says “sibling currently enrolled” which is what her kid was if he attended 2018-2019 school year. If the school in question is a new school for everyone then the younger kid should have received sibling admitted preference (yes I know this changes to enrolled once they turn in papers). The issue is if the older kid has already been attending the school there is no way to apply truthfully. They ask if the PS kid has a sibling currently at the school. [b]They don’t say do you have every intent on keeping the older kid at the school.[/b] [/quote]

I guess. But how exactly does "needing to keep siblings together" work as a reason if the siblings aren't, well, together?

Wouldn't addressing the need as claimed mean appropriately transferring the sibling preference to the place where the sibling actually is?

If that IS the reason, of course. I suppose you could put an explicit disclaimer that people shouldn't lie. Maybe it's counterintuitive that you shouldn't?[/quote]

It’s not a lie if the older student was indeed an enrolled student the entire time during lottery season (Nov-March).[/quote]

Do you feel the same way about residency preference? If someone enrolls at a school as in boundary and then moves out of boundary before the school year begins, do you believe that they should be able to keep their in boundary status?

Do you believe that the OP should be allowed to claim the same preference at two different schools (sibling enrolled) when the sibling is only enrolled at one school?[/quote]

I am personally shocked by how many people I talk to who think they can move IB for a year and then move back OOB and stay in the DCPS school. Why do people think that’s allowed?[/quote]

Because at probably 95% of the DCPS schools it’s allowed. In fact, I only know of Oyster where principal doesn’t allow it.[/quote]
